"Ning Jiaqi, Lin Chen is injured and hospitalized and can't go to school, but why are you also skipping classes?" Lin Ruoyan decided to make her point.
“I’m willing, can’t I accompany you?” Ning Jiaqi replied without any politeness.
"You're taking care of him? Why are you taking care of him? What's your relationship with Lin Chen?" Lin Ruoyan bombarded her with a series of questions.
“Can’t I have a deskmate?” Ning Jiaqi retorted.
"Does being a deskmate mean you can skip class to accompany someone?" Lin Ruoyan persisted.
"How about master and apprentice?" Ning Jiaqi asked playfully.
"Do you think this is Journey to the West?" Lin Ruoyan said sarcastically.
However, Ning Jiaqi was not one to back down: "What, you only feel happy if I say we're a couple?" Her words carried a hint of provocation.
"Fine, you've finally said what's on your mind, haven't you?" Lin Ruoyan seized the opportunity to retort.
Lin Chen silently ate her orange, watching the scene unfold before her, feeling somewhat helpless. Wang Nanshan, on the other hand, stared blankly as the two women nearly came to blows in the hospital room, not daring to utter a word.
The argument between a nominal teacher and a nominal student filled the entire ward with tension.
Looking at the tense scene before him, Lin Chen sighed inwardly. He hesitated for a moment, then softly interjected, "Um, could we please stop arguing..."
"shut up!"
Unexpectedly, the two women who were in a standoff interrupted him in unison.
"Ning Jiaqi, you must go back to school immediately today!" Lin Ruoyan's voice carried an undeniable authority.
"I won't, what can you do to me?" Ning Jiaqi retorted without backing down.
"Don't think that just because you have some connections, I'm helpless!" Lin Ruoyan's tone revealed a hint of helplessness and anger.
"Hmph, I'm really curious what your plan is. Are you going to try to bury me in money?" Ning Jiaqi's words carried a hint of provocation.
“You…” Lin Ruoyan was speechless for a moment, glaring angrily at Ning Jiaqi.
At this moment, Wang Nanshan couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly stepped between the two and acted as a peacemaker: "Alright, alright, I know you both mean well for Xiaochen. Since you're all in the same class, let's stop arguing."
"My dear student, now that Xiaochen is alright, you should go back to school soon. Don't let it interfere with your studies. And don't worry, teacher, my Xiaochen will be back at school as soon as he fully recovers!"
Although the two women had different emotional entanglements with Lin Chen, they still gave Wang Nanshan some face.
Lin Ruoyan snorted coldly, picked up her bag, and stormed off. Ning Jiaqi, though somewhat reluctant, listened to Wang Nanshan and prepared to leave.
In fact, Lin Chen's physical condition had almost fully recovered. The doctor's advice was to stay in the hospital for observation for another ten days to two weeks to ensure everything went smoothly.
However, Lin Chen was unwilling to waste time in the hospital. He was about to face the college entrance examination, and every minute and second was extremely precious. Moreover, he understood his physical condition better than anyone else.
The instrument displayed Lin Chen's superhuman physique and amazing recovery ability, but Lin Chen could truly feel the changes in his own body.
He even had a feeling that his body would fully recover in just ten days. Therefore, at Lin Chen's insistence, he finally decided to be discharged from the hospital.
Throughout the entire process, Ning Jiaqi stayed by Lin Chen's side, making the male doctors in the hospital look at Lin Chen with envy.
Meanwhile, the girls were wondering what it was about Lin Chen that made him so charming, with a girlfriend like Ning Jiaqi? And even a teacher, who was also a goddess-level beauty, vying for his attention.
Although Ning Jiaqi noticed the whispers around her, she remained unperturbed, seemingly unconcerned. However, the slight blush on her ears and cheeks betrayed her inner shyness.
Even Wang Nanshan couldn't help but be curious. On the day Lin Chen was discharged from the hospital, while helping Lin Chen pack his things, he asked, "Xiao Chen, tell Uncle Nan the truth, what exactly is going on with those two women?"
"What? What happened?" Lin Chen was stunned and looked at Wang Nanshan with some confusion.
“What haven’t I seen, your Uncle Nan? The concern those two show you is clearly not ordinary! There’s definitely something fishy going on here,” Wang Nanshan said confidently.
Lin Chen shook his head speechlessly. To be honest, Ning Jiaqi's concern for him was genuine, but what about Lin Ruoyan? It was just crocodile tears!
"Xiao Chen, you're still in the final stretch of your college entrance exam preparation, so you absolutely can't let things between men and women distract you! You can think about these things after you get to college," Wang Nanshan earnestly advised.
"I understand, Uncle Nan," Lin Chen replied with a wry smile.
However, just as Lin Chen was about to leave the ward, Wang Nanshan's words almost made him stumble—
"Anyway, there's still a month left, so Uncle Nan might as well give you some advice. You're really lucky with the ladies! Both of them are nice, but based on Uncle Nan's observation, that baby-faced girl is too immature and too good at acting cute. Your homeroom teacher is much more sophisticated and perfect! So, Xiao Chen..."
"Uncle Nan, are your eyesight not very good? How about I go with you to get a new pair of glasses now?" Lin Chen said helplessly.
...
On the day of Lin Chen's discharge, Ning Jiaqi came to pick him up. Lin Ruoyan originally wanted to come too, but she couldn't because of a sudden meeting at school. So, Lin Chen and Ning Jiaqi returned to school together.
Of course, Lin Chen went back in Ning Jiaqi's car. When they were almost at the school, Lin Chen said, "You go in first, I'll go in later."
The fact that two people disappeared and then returned to school at the same time will definitely cause a stir. Although the current situation seems a bit like an attempt to cover something up, something is better than nothing.
Ning Jiaqi understood Lin Chen's meaning, and she nodded with a smile: "Master, you've thought of everything."
Ning Jiaqi then got out of the car and went back to school. Only after she had walked a little further away did the Mercedes GLS start moving again, pulling away from the school.
Now only Lin Chen, the driver, and bodyguard Brother Wu remained in the car. Brother Wu looked at Lin Chen and asked curiously, "Your physical abilities are excellent, and your skills are top-notch. Who taught you that?"
Although he held off most of the others last time, Lin Chen protected Ning Jiaqi's life. Moreover, the physical abilities Lin Chen displayed during the process greatly surprised him.
In contrast, Lin Chen actually survived the explosion and was discharged from the hospital in less than a week. It's like he's Iron Man!
